Yep. Five lines earlier (line 256) /sbin/dhcpagent -a fails (maybe it should have a longer timeout value, as extra option?). As no NIC got configured for dhcp, line 261 can only fail, too. Because if hme0 is not even plumbed, not to mention up, obviously line 261 MEDIA='/sbin/dhcpinfo Rootpath' cannot contact the dhcp server to get the dhcp $Rootpath variable from the server. Question is now, why line 256 doesn't work in the first place. Testing Blade 150 and a few other boxes now, to get more comparision experiences ...
